Dr Lindsay Knox, Convenor 

I have been an English Language teacher and language teacher educator since 1993, working in Greece, Italy, France and the UK. My language teacher educator experience includes both pre-service and in-service work, and I have been a trainer on both CELTA and Trinity CertTESOL and Trinity Diploma courses. 

Since 2007, I have worked at the University of Edinburgh where I am the Head of Teacher Development and Scholarship for Languages in the Centre for Open Learning. My responsibilities include designing our year-round CPD programme, as well as managing the teacher induction and CPD for our summer colleagues. I also convene our scholarship and publication group, which aims to support colleagues to investigate their EAP practice through the development and dissemination of small scholarship projects. I am also responsible for in-sessional academic language and literacy courses in the School of Education, and lecture on the Professional Practice course in the MSc in Language Education.

My current research interests include EAP practitioner development and scholarship.
